To fall in love with God is the greatest of all romances;
to seek Him, the greatest adventure;
to find Him, the greatest human achievement.

Saint Augustine

I used to think that the day would never come

True Faith, by Anberlin (a cover of the song by New Order)



I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care, 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again, I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

That I hid away on the inside

This song = ♥

Burn Out Brighter (Northern Lights), by Anberlin



Live, I want to live inspired
Die, I want to die for something

Racing toward the heavens
I fell into a pitch black
Moments from landing and now I’m
Shaking like a heart attack

Is there time
Can I turn back
I made mistakes in the past
Need a chance
Can’t say goodbye
Wish I could set things right tonight

Live, I want to live inspired
Die, I want to die for something
Higher than myself
Live and die for anyone else
The more I live, I see
This life’s not about me

All I know spins out of control
Wonder what’s next for a hardened soul
Nothing I earned can save me now
Here in what may be my final hour

Is there time
Can I turn back
I made mistakes, well, in the past
Need a chance
Can’t say goodbye
(Wish I could) set things right tonight

Live, I want to live inspired
Die, I want to die for something
Higher than myself
Live and die for anyone else
The more I live, I see
This life’s not about me

Don’t want to leave this world
Knowing I breathed in vain
Looked out for myself
So sorry, so ashamed

Don’t want to leave this life
Knowing I barely tried
To chase down all my dreams
That I hid away on the inside

Live, I want a live on fire
Die, I want to burn out brighter
Brighter than the Northern Lights
Wanna live to feel the daylight
The more I give, I see
This life’s not about me.
